There are various sensations associated with fainting, but for Su Cun's case, his fainting was quite peculiar. When Chen Cong aimed a stab at his abdomen, he found that although all his mental faculties were focused on the fight, his body did not obey his brain's commands and fainted without any warning.

However, this faint wasn't a complete one. Su Cun could still hear the chaotic noises around him; his consciousness came and went, indicating that someone had been moving him about but he was unable to resist or regain full clarity. As such, when his awareness gradually returned, he could only recall these vague moments.

It seemed his mental maturity far exceeded his physical age, and during this kind of assassination attempt, his body reacted with fear in a way that parallels how a computer system crashes and reboots to protect the hardware from damage. To prevent excessive shock to the brain, his body temporarily shut down and rebooted, making Su Cun's 'fainting' state one where he retained some awareness. This alone was enough to create another unexplained phenomenon in neurology.

Feeling that control of his body had returned, Su Cun’s first reaction was to open his eyes; it felt as if a layer of film had been placed over them, everything white and blurry initially before gradually becoming clearer from the light outside.

The smell of antiseptic filled his nostrils. In his field of vision were several people in white coats moving around him. Upon noticing that he was reacting, one person came to check his pupils by lifting his eyelids, then nodded at a doctor beside them: "Director Ding, he's awake!"

Su Cun opened his eyes and saw the nurse covering her face frowning. “You’re awake Don’t move! Your abdomen was just stitched up. What kind of luck is this The knife pierced along your rectal wall without hitting any organs, but still required seven stitches. Nowadays’ kids… really are getting worse!”

“Look at how young you are! You spend your day learning to fight like others and actually dare to use your body to stop a sharp blade Are you brave or foolish With children like you around, one wonders if it’s a blessing or a curse for society,” Ding Zhaoguo took off his surgical mask, removed the gloves and frowned tightly; he occasionally glanced towards the door.

"Yes, if not for Director Doctor Ding Zhaoguo treating you personally, you wouldn’t have woken up!" The head nurse glared at Su Cun.

Just after waking up, they shouldn't give such a look to the patient, right

Su Cun's mind started working. To receive treatment from a chief physician for just stitches indicated that this matter was indeed serious.

Ding Zhaoguo stared at the door for a while and then, dismissing Su Cen, whispered to the head nurse, "Why haven't the secretary and mayor arrived yet"

The head nurse quietly replied, "The city leaders are on their way. I'm not sure if they've arrived yet, but it should be close now..."

Su Cen was taken aback. While he had anticipated that Ding Zhaoguo's stern demeanor was likely aimed at creating a media spectacle, he hadn't expected the matter to escalate to such high-level officials in response to Chen Cong's tardiness.

Half an hour before Su Cen regained consciousness...

Around the hospital, many students from Shiyan High School had gathered after classes. Most of Su Cen’s classmates were present but blocked by security guards; only family members were allowed to enter the emergency ward on the second floor.

Even the two office teachers who brought Su Cen here weren’t informed about the specifics of what transpired, knowing only that a conflict had erupted in Class Five and led to injuries from fighting. Xiao Rihua was taken away by police cars along with Chen Cong; students outside were discussing the event but details were lost in the commotion.

No one could grasp the overall situation within such a short time, yet it was crucial to focus on treatment. The development of events was based merely on surface speculation and rumors.

Su Cen’s family, with Zeng Man's face pale from worry, comforted himself while his daughter Zeng Na stood by. Zeng Ke and Su Licheng were visibly anxious; though they had been informed earlier that Su Cen wasn't seriously injured, the sudden turn of events still left them shaken.

Zeng Na merely heard about a stabbing incident in Grade 10 Class Five. Upon inquiry with her peers, she realized it must involve Su Cen’s class. In the crowd's discussion, someone mentioned that a student named Su Can had been attacked; Zeng Na felt faint and rushed to a phone booth outside to inform her father of what happened, sobbing intermittently.

The entire family hurriedly headed towards Shiyan City People's Hospital.

Zeng Man pointed at Zeng Ke and Su Licheng. "I've told you many times: while running this store, don't forget your parental responsibilities; don’t neglect educating your children... Look now, trouble has struck. This child is indeed smart but how old is he Everyone has their youthful rebellions... As parents, it's crucial to guide them properly... Ultimately, both of you are responsible for this matter..."

Su Licheng stood there helplessly and didn't dare to say much. Zeng Ke wept inwardly, feeling deeply regretful.

Zeng Na wiped her red-rimmed eyes. "I knew Su Can wouldn’t behave properly. So what if he has good grades Does having good grades mean everything can be solved You guys have been too indulgent of him. Seeing his grades improve, you agree to anything he asks for. At this age, when his confidence is high, he becomes very arrogant! ... The boys in our class are all like that; they’re all the same—arrogant and stubborn!"

Su Licheng’s aunt-in-law, Yin Shuying, interjected, "Zeng Na! Don’t say such things. Su Can is actually quite a good kid! I believe he didn’t do this on purpose. The other party must also bear some responsibility! When we go in to see him, don’t blame him too much. We need to educate our own child properly! ... Whatever problems arise from this incident, compensation will be necessary. For Su Can’s continued schooling, only your elder brother can speak up for him!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Na glared angrily at the room where Su Can was staying. She had always sailed smoothly through her studies and her father, Zeng Quanming, never sought help from others on her behalf. However, he repeatedly asked favors for Su Can’s sake, now leading to another major incident. Their family wasn’t a household with many connections, so these favors were hard-fought.

Su Licheng and Zeng Ke exchanged glances and said compassionately, "The money we made was only around 100,000 yuan... Is this enough" This was the result of their辛勤努力，雖然隻是半年的收入，但曾珂每天清晨六點半就起床，叫醒蘇燦後開門、打掃衛生和整理貨物。這些錢是實實在在通過雙手和智慧積累起來的，要輕易送出，怎能不心疼？

"There’s no choice!" Yin Shuying sighed and shook her head. "Once the incident happens, we have to face it directly. The parents on both sides need to negotiate; I don’t think they’ll escalate this further..."

Now that Su Can was out of danger, however, those involved were still entangled in complications.

"Whether it’s enough is hard to say... It all depends on the situation with the injured child. I’m worried about their family reactions... Sigh…" Zeng Quanming looked much older and more worn out than before; he had heard some rumors about students gathering at the hospital, suggesting that Su Can had harmed a son of a high-ranking official, possibly from the Wang family.

The Wang family’s high-ranking official's son Zeng Quanming instinctively thought of someone—Wang Jinrong, the deputy mayor, and his nephew. Given that Zeng Na also studied at the First High School, he often heard about this nephew's antics. If it was indeed Wang Jinrong’s nephew, things would be serious.

Seeing how certain Zeng Quanming and Yin Shuying were in their statements, Zeng Ke couldn’t help but shed tears again, fearing the other parents wouldn’t let up. She secretly blamed her son for not being more responsible.

"Mayor Hong!" Seeing Mayor Red Sky and several government officials enter the second-floor emergency corridor, Zeng Quanming wiped his forehead in a panic. The mayor had been alerted!

Hong Xiaotian came before Zeng Quanming, looked at him, nodded his head, and sighed quietly as a greeting. The few people around him looked at Zeng Quanming with regretful expressions and said, "Old Zeng... oh, how did it come to this..."

It seemed they thought Zeng Quanming’s nephew had caused great trouble; rumors spread about murder in City No. 1 High School, and his nephew was most likely in serious danger. Now that the incident had become well-known, there must be a huge issue at hand. All of them wore regretful expressions toward Zeng Quanming.

The terrifying silence outside the emergency room continued for some time before Hong Xiaotian smoked a cigarette and frowned as he looked at Zeng Quanming, "The people from the municipal committee haven't arrived yet..."

Zeng Quanming nodded his head in response.

Hong Xiaotian sighed.

This time was the day when the higher-level inspection team would arrive. The city party secretary, Liu Lan, was accompanying the inspection team. Such an incident should not have become common knowledge. Who knew that even the municipal committee had been alerted, and it turned out to be on their way here together with the inspection team!

What did this mean! A criminal case involving campus violence should be suppressed and handled properly through legal means for the best outcome. Yet now, everyone was aware of it, and the municipal committee was rushing over, bringing along the inspection team as well, making a huge commotion among Xiaohai’s leadership.

Did this mean that Liu Lan was about to explode After being humiliated by the fraud gang incident last time, had he now retaliated But using Zeng Quanming, whom he promoted, as leverage against Hong Xiaotian's faction wasn't going to be easy!

To bring the entire inspection team over, Liu Lan was truly ruthless!
